    Nobody should believe everything that RTD says. He's always
    thrown in red-herrings and mis-direction...

    Or he just makes it up as he goes along, so when he says stuff
    it's true at that stage... but then he changes his mind as
    another jolly good fun idea comes into his head.

    Recently, every time he's said something about "Doctor Who" I
    find myself wishing he'd just STFU...

    That was predictable! ;-)

    But on returning enemies... from RTD's comments about Cybermen
    we knew they weren't coming back... not while he's in charge
    anyway. I was hoping for Daleks and was wrong-footed by the S2
    trailer, but we ended up with the Rani and Omega. Both of whom
    wouldn't have been on my top five returning enemies list.

    I'm disappointed that Ncuti's Doctor never got to face the
    Daleks... although thinking about all the double entendres
    that RTD would write for the 15th Doctor regarding big
    protuberances, maybe it's just as well.

    RTD didn't stop with his "nods"... from Davros in the CiN
    special all the way through the 2023 specials and the two
    full seasons of Ncuti Gatwa it was nothing but nods to the
    past!
